0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Promozione Italia APS is an Italian non-profit organization dedicated to coordinating and promoting the Universal Civil Service, particularly environmental and cultural volunteer projects. The website serves as an information hub for prospective volunteers, providing detailed project descriptions, selection calendars, and official government links for application submission. The organization targets young adults aged 18-28 interested in civil service opportunities across various Italian regions. The site reflects a consistent brand identity and professional presentation aligned with its mission. Technically, the website is built on WordPress with popular plugins such as WooCommerce and Elementor, leveraging modern web technologies including Bootstrap and jQuery. The site is moderately performant and well-optimized for mobile devices, though accessibility features could be enhanced. SEO practices are adequately implemented with proper meta tags and structured content. From a security perspective, the site enforces HTTPS and includes standard security headers, indicating a good baseline security posture. No critical vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected. However, the absence of visible privacy and cookie policies, as well as incident response information, represents compliance and transparency gaps that should be addressed. Overall, the website is trustworthy and professional, serving its non-profit mission effectively. Strategic improvements in privacy compliance and security transparency would further strengthen its position and user trust.

This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

7 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. GDPR outside view

    These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.

    • Critical

      EU business without adequate privacy measures

      EU businesses are subject to strict GDPR requirements

      What to do: Implement comprehensive GDPR compliance including privacy policy, cookie consent, and data protection measures

    • High

      No Cookie Policy found

      GDPR requires clear information about cookie usage

      What to do: Add a dedicated cookie policy explaining cookie usage and purposes

  2. Network security

    Services reachable from the internet are the first thing attackers probe. Anything open that does not need to be should be closed.

    • Critical

      Critical Service Exposed: MySQL

      Port 3306 (MySQL) is publicly accessible - MySQL - Database server

      What to do: Immediately restrict access to MySQL using firewall or VPN

      • NIS2 21(2)(e)
      • IR 2024/2690 6.7.2(f): Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690, Annex point 6.7.2(f): Network security
      • NIST CM-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 CM-7: Least Functionality
      • NIST SC-7: NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 SC-7: Boundary Protection
  3. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Strict-Transport-Security header

      Forces HTTPS connections

      What to do: Add "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload"

      • CWE-319

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet · found on this site
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Promozione Italia APS operates in the non-profit sector focused on civil service volunteering in Italy. Its competitive advantage lies in its official recognition and partnership with government bodies and other non-profit entities such as Solidarietà Cervinese. The business model revolves around coordinating volunteer projects, disseminating information, and facilitating applications through official platforms. Revenue streams are likely grant-based or public funding, typical for non-profits. The target customer segment is young Italian residents and expatriates seeking civil service opportunities. Growth indicators include active project launches and detailed volunteer engagement. The partnership ecosystem includes government youth policy sites and co-project organizations, enhancing credibility and reach.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a mature security posture with HTTPS enforcement and multiple security headers such as Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and Content-Security-Policy. No outdated or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML source. Forms are limited to search and contact, with no sensitive data exposure observed. However, the lack of a published security policy or incident response contact reduces transparency and preparedness perception. GDPR compliance is partial due to missing privacy and cookie policies. Overall, the site is secure but could improve compliance documentation and incident readiness communication.

Recommendations

  1. Publish comprehensive privacy and cookie policies with explicit consent mechanisms to enhance GDPR compliance.
  2. Add a dedicated security policy and incident response page including contact channels for reporting security issues.
  3. Regularly audit and update all third-party plugins and libraries to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
  4. Improve accessibility features to meet recognized standards and broaden user inclusivity.
  5. Consider implementing a security.txt file and vulnerability disclosure program to foster trust and transparency.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on a WordPress CMS platform using Elementor for page building and WooCommerce for e-commerce capabilities, although no active store is evident. It uses modern front-end libraries such as Bootstrap and Font Awesome, and includes Slider Revolution for interactive content. The site loads scripts asynchronously and defers non-critical JavaScript to improve performance. Meta tags and Open Graph data are well implemented for SEO and social sharing. Mobile optimization is good, with responsive design elements. Some inline styles and large CSS blocks may impact load times slightly. No major technical debt or deprecated technologies were detected.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
